SOUTHPORT killer Axel Rudakubana will face a lifetime of hell behind bars and will be the “number one” target for brutal attacks, a top prison officer has said. The teen monster will spend at least 52 years in prison with a judge ruling that he is highly likely to never be released.

Yesterday he was sentenced to life in jail after he stabbed to death Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, at a Taylor Swift dance class. Mark Fairhurst, national chairman of the Prison Officers' Association said Rudakubana would likely be held in isolation in a segregation unit for his own protection as he will be “target No.1” for other inmates.

He said the evil killer is currently being held at high-security Belmarsh Prison in Woolwich south east London where he had been on remand. He is expected to remain there until he is assessed. He could either stay at the notorious jail or be sent to other Category A prisons across the country including Full Sutton in York or Frankland Prison in Durham.
Mr Fairhurst said Rudakubana would have the same rights as every other inmate and would be offered isolation. He would be entitled to showers, phone calls home and exercise even in isolation. Mr Fairhurst said: “if there was any intelligence he was at risk then he would be put in the segregation unit under isolation or to some other part of the prison where he is away from everyone else.”.
